		sdfjkl on Jan 27, 2022 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: 13 years sailing around the world MailASail itself is interesting too. They provide stripped down email hosting for cruisers on low-bandwidth connections (satellite internet, SSB* with pactor modems). HTML, attachments, signatures are stripped away. The blog hosting is designed for submitting short text updates by (satellite) email, optionally with low-resolution photos, which are converted into blog posts. * Seems the SSB service is no longer there, or maybe I'm confusing it with sailmail.com

I suppose this is a nice solution. Would starlink at all apply in this scenario or is satellite coverage not there yet?

Among many issues, until they can figure out inter-satellite links, service far from a coast will be no bueno.
